Yes, the Skaven Rat Men also had a military song.
The Gray Prophet was extremely proud of this. Ever since he learned that he was going to be in charge of the invasion of the Nur Nur, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. So he quickly decided to create a military song to impress all the Rats, and also to prove his political and military prowess.
However, there was a problem. As everyone knew, although Chuan Kuiro always claimed to be the "most talented and capable" Gray Prophet, the number of times he failed was … a little too many. Most of the major clans in the Skaven had invested in Chuan Kuiro and lost everything. So when Chuan Kuiro wanted to create a military song about conquering the Nur, he was rejected by almost all the clans. No Rat Men were willing to help him.
Fortunately, there was the famous Isin Clan. This clan's specialty was that they were willing to do anything as long as they were given money (Dimension Stones). Chuan Kuiro took out a sum of money from his wealth, and soon, the Isin Clan finished creating a military song and handed it to Chuan Kuiro.
In fact, this military song was a little complicated. Only the Clan Rats and the Storm Rats could sing it, but Chuan Kuiro liked it very much.
Under Chuan Kuiro's command, the Rats immediately began to beat the drums and gongs.
"We are the Skaven, and the enemy is …"
"The bastards of the Ghouls ~"
"The enemy's general is a hero ~"
"Rats and Rats' biggest rival ~ ~ ~"
"The warriors who follow him are brave and brave ~"
"Every one of them is as brave as a demon ~"
"But the fools who resist the will of the Horned Rat God ~"
"Since ancient times, there has been no immortal ~"
"Until the enemy is completely annihilated ~"
"Onward, onward, let the Rats advance!"
"Follow Sir Chuan Kuiro, and advance with the resolve to die!"
"According to the teachings of the Horned Rat God ~"
"The Rats' bodies are protected by souls ~"
"The Skaven's ambition to dominate the world ~"
"Defeated at Howling Mountain ~"
"But today, the triangular pattern will shine again ~"
"The Rats will regain their glory ~"
…
"Onward, onward, let the Rats advance!"
"Follow His Excellency Chuankuiro and advance with the resolve to die!"
While the Skaven Ratmen were busy singing military songs, Devonshire was quickly assigning battle orders.
The baron was very familiar with this area. Firstly, he often hunted in this area. Secondly, Nur was located at the northernmost part of Wyson Territory, bordering Rick Territory. For the past three years, whenever Frey led an army on an expedition, he would definitely pass through this area.
After gathering the Nur generals, Frey Derick opened the map and said, "The Skaven Rat Men are on the opposite side of us. They are arranged in a north-south line with Masselhoff as the center. They are divided into five parts. They seem to be in a straight line and are launching a defensive attack towards the west. At the same time, they have placed a large number of cannons on both sides. It is obvious that they are trying to lure us into attacking."
Noelle, the incarnation of the Goddess of War, immediately said, "Frey, we must not attack the Skaven Rat Men directly. This is exactly what they want."
"That's right. The Skaven Rat Men are clearly trying to spread out their defensive line. I know the Rat Men very well. Their army formation is good, but discipline and morale are not their strong points. They can only rely on their numbers." Frey Derick carefully planned the battle. "Therefore, Pfitzman!"
"Here." The Grand Commander of the Flaming Sun Knights stepped forward.
"Vittorio."
"Here!" Tyrell's Grand Commander, Leo Vittorio, stepped forward.
"Listen up, and do as I say …" Frey Derick carefully arranged everything.
"Fokke, Bruckner, Shi Weilin, Saito, Befern!" Frey Derick shouted after he finished arranging the battle.
"Here!" The five Nur generals stepped forward together.
"Your mission is …" Frey Derick continued to arrange everything.
The Baron had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His words were full of strength and determination. While the Rats were singing, a battle plan quickly formed in his mind. He drew on the map vigorously. The little Queen Alisala lit a magic lantern for him, while Noelle considered the feasibility of the plan. The Baron's two women looked at their fiancé and listened to his plan. They could not suppress the light in their eyes.
It was absolute confidence and confidence.
This is the man I want, just like my father. Strong, handsome, perfect, and most importantly, absolutely confident. Alisala thought so, the little Queen's green eyes were full of little stars.
If only Frey could fight like his father.
The incarnation of the Goddess of War, Noelle, was thinking about Frey Derick's genius and bold battle plan. She subconsciously felt that if it really succeeded, it would be a great battle comparable to the Battle of the Three Kings!
Frey was already very handsome. Coupled with his absolute confidence and bold battle plan, everyone present was shocked.
"Alright! Everyone, take your positions. Let's begin! " After arranging the battle plan, Frey Derick concluded, "For the Nur, for the Savior!"
"For the Nur, for the Savior!" The dozens of Nur generals shouted in unison.
In the darkness, the Nur army was divided into two parts. About thirty thousand elite field soldiers followed Pfitzman and Tyrrell's Commander Vittorio to the northern battlefield. The rest of the Nur army moved quickly to the south under the cover of the night.
On the other side, Chuanqueiro let the Skaven Rats finish singing their military song. He stood on his favorite flesh-eating rat's skeletal hand and took out the Scurry's Dimension Stone Night Vision Goggles to observe the battle.
The human army's formation was very strange.
Chuanqueiro carefully selected the terrain of Borni three times before choosing it. Naturally, as Frey Derick expected, Chuanqueiro chose this place because it was difficult for the human cavalry to spread out and charge in groups. Too many hills and forests would severely hinder the cavalry. At the same time, there was a certain distance between the Nur and Nur, so there was no need to worry about being attacked by the cannons and cannons of the Nur Empire.
But that was where the problem lay. There were too many hills and forests. Chuanqueiro could not see what the Nur army was doing. With his vision blocked by the hills and forests, he could only vaguely see a group of Nur soldiers with torches moving towards his northern side, which was his right flank.
It looks like they're planning to storm my right flank? Chuanqueiro thought about the Nur's choice. He knew that Frey Derick was a veteran of the battlefield despite his young age. The Skaven Rats' right flank was the Scurf Clan and the Mirage Clan. The Scurf Clan was a vassal clan of the Plague Clan, which was famous for having countless Plague Rats and Plague Slave Rats. The Mirage Clan was a vassal clan of the Scurry Clan, which had a large number of Scurry War Machines, but they were particularly fond of using Poison Wind Balls to attack their opponents.
Compared to himself, who was in charge of the main force and the most elite Tempest Rat Guard Legion of the Council of Thirteen, as well as the Mord Clan's Behemoths on the left flank, such as Storm Trolls, Rat Trolls, and Pit Abominations, the right flank might be the easiest target to break through!
"Hah! You think I wouldn't be able to think of that?" Chuanqueiro shouted excitedly.
In the middle of the night, both sides were mobilizing their forces. At the human camp, a loud boom of a Nur cannon could be heard from the north of Borni. The Nur Defense War had officially begun!
The commander of the right wing of the Skaven Ratmen was the Skotalib Engineering Sorcerer mentioned earlier. When he saw the Nuer army appear in front of him, he was so angry that he screamed. He immediately ordered all Dimensional Stone Lightning Cannons and Plague Trebuchets to be ready. He was going to blast those hairless pieces of scrap metal into the sky today!
In the next second, a solid shell plowed past Skotarib's side, blowing up a dozen Storm Rat Guards on the spot!
Blood and organs splattered everywhere. The commander looked forward and saw even more cannons flashing, driving away the darkness.
The Nur cannons had begun firing!
The Nur soldiers in black uniforms and the Tyrell soldiers in silver uniforms had already gotten into formation. Behind them, more and more cannons were moving into position. The Nur army did not lack anything, especially cannons. Dozens of heavy cannons and sixteen Hellstorm Rocket Cannons were quickly deployed and began firing. Dozens of fireworks and cannons flew across the sky, bombarding the right flank of the Skaven Rats. The few rat slaves standing at the very front were immediately engulfed by the cannons and blown up into the sky within a few breaths.
To make matters worse, for some reason, the Nur cannons did not seem to have been aimed or even tested. It was as if the cannons had grown eyes and exploded in the middle of the Rat Army's formation.
What the rats did not know was that Frey Derick was too familiar with this area. Laing's eldest son did not even need to give a thumbs up and directly told the cannons the firing parameters. The flashing light of the cannons illuminated the entire Empire's defensive line. They mercilessly poured the flames of destruction into the Rat Army. The weather was cold and humid, but the cannons were already sweating profusely after the series of actions of checking, loading, aiming, and firing.
Frey Derick rode his pure-blooded Elven horse back and forth in the Nur army, boosting their morale. His fiancée, Noelle, was also galloping in the Tyrell army.
Everyone knew in their hearts that once this battle was over, the Nur and Tyrell would truly be one family!
On the other side, the Warlock of Engineering held his dimensional stone longsword and shouted in the Rat Army's formation, "Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack! You idiots! Idiots! What the hell are you doing? Horned Rat curse you! "
"Whoosh!" A cannonball smashed into a Plague Claw trebuchet behind it. Wood splinters flew everywhere. As the trebuchet disintegrated, a canister filled with the Plague Clan's secret venom came crashing down. A Storm Rat was accidentally hit by the canister and turned into a puddle of blood on the spot.
"What are you waiting for? Attack! "The Warlock of Engineering screamed desperately, trying to cover up his guilty conscience.
"My Lord, our … our firing range is not that far!" The Skaven cannoneers and engineers below cried out pitifully.
Yes, whether it was the Skaven Dimensional Lightning Cannons, Plague Claw Catapults, or other weapons, their firing range was slightly shorter than the Nur's heavy cannons and hellstorm rocket launchers.
This caused the Skaven Rat Army's right flank to be attacked almost passively. The Nur cannoneers were just outside the Skaven Rat Army's maximum firing range.
How could the Warlock of Engineering not know? But why did he still ask?
There was no other reason. He was just passing the buck!
Scottarib screamed and complained about the shamelessness of this hairless creature. He no longer hesitated and immediately ordered, "Rat Army, advance!"
The rat army that had just eaten their fill and their stomachs were full of sweet biscuits. They went berserk and were full of confidence. Dozens of rat slave armies charged towards the human camp first, followed by thirteen rat clans. These rat clans were covered in rotting sores and plague spots. They wore breastplates and held spears, machetes, and shields as they charged towards the human camp.
“DOOOOOM！”
“DOOOOOM！”
The bell rang, and the Skaven army began their attack. Dozens of rat slave armies, thirteen rat clans, and at least sixty thousand Skaven Rat Army crossed the plains and forests. The number was so great that it made one's scalp tingle. Furthermore, there was the terrifying sound of the bell.
If it were a normal person, hearing the sound of the Bell of Calamity would be enough to drive them crazy. Seeing at least sixty thousand torches and the faces of the Skaven Rat Army would be enough to scare them out of their wits.
But today, the Skaven Rat Army's opponents were the Nur men! The Nur men were not useless. The Nur men only wanted to stab their swords into the chests of the Skaven Rat Army and use their cannons to blast their hearts.
The Nur men began to unleash their metal storm. Flames and smoke spewed out from the army and lit up the night sky. Everyone in the Empire's army became a group of battle maniacs. The Empire maintained their defensive line. The Tyrell mercenaries and the provincial army blocked the attack of the Rat Army with their spears. The cannons were firing as much as they could, and the mortars were ready to support them at any time.
The few rat slaves at the front were immediately engulfed by the barrage of the muskets and crossbowmen. Mortar shells fell from the sky and exploded in the midst of the rat army. Since they only had light armor and wooden shields to protect them, the rat people had no way of fighting back against this kind of bombardment. However, they still had an advantage. No matter how heavy the losses were, there were still countless Rat Army that rushed forward to meet their deaths.
The Nuer people and the Tyrell people stood side by side. The Wyson people and Thor people led by Wesson people and Thor people forward while shouting their battle cries. Both sides began to engage in close combat. It was clear that the Nuer army was made up of professional soldiers. These soldiers had a considerable advantage against the Skaven Rats and Clan Rats. However, the Skaven Rats had the advantage in terms of numbers. There was always an endless stream of rats rushing out from the back.
After fighting for close to an hour, Nurr's soldiers finally gained the upper hand. With the addition of Emilia's private royal guards, the hundreds of great swordsmen of the Blackstone Guard Legion and Nurr's armored army, the slave rats and clan rats were naturally no match for Nurr's elites. They were already powerless against Nurr's regular armies, such as the 'Black Iron Legion', 'Coal Legion', 'Tigerfish Pike Legion', 'Black Rose Legion', and 'Gold Scale Legion'. With the addition of Nurr's elites, they were quickly faced with a collapse and a massacre.
All the human soldiers who were fighting a bloody battle began to cheer.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chief Gray Prophet immediately ordered three Giant Beast Legions, two Storm Rat Legions, and at least five Dimensional Stone Weapon Legions to reinforce the right flank.
Thanks to the endorsement of the Supreme Lord of Calamity, Chuankuilo's request was immediately fulfilled. With the addition of the Storm Rats armed with Skaven's exquisite weapons, the Nuer soldiers realized that they finally had an opponent. The Poison Wind Grenade Squad threw glass balls filled with poisonous gas into the human army, and any soldier who came into contact with them would immediately be infected. The Dimension Stone Drill Squad used their sharp drills to drill through the sturdy plate armor, digging out flesh and organs from the human bodies to their heart's content. The Dimension Stone Assault Squad also fired in unison, killing more than a dozen soldiers in the Nuer Armored Army. The most terrifying of all, the Rat Treen Squad, split into several rows and prepared to fire.
As the Rat Army engineers turned the Rat Army's bearings, the Empire soldiers felt immense pressure.
"Roar! Roar!" The Rat Trolls charged along the battlefield. They used their thick arms to block the bullets and crossbow bolts. They raised their fists and smashed a shield-wielding spearman into the ground. Just as it was about to roar and show off its strength, a mercury bullet from afar hit its head. The Rat Troll screamed and fell to the ground, crushing five or six Rat Trolls to death.
"Retreat! Retreat! " The Nuer army seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and the horn for retreat started to sound. After hearing the horn, the human army immediately started to retreat. The most elite Blackrose Army, Blackstone Guard Army, and Emilia's personal royal guards personally brought up the rear, while the Nuer armored army provided firepower support. There were also groups of cannons from the Empire, and an astonishing number of Hell Storm rocket cannons and mortars that kept rising into the sky, shattering the formation of the Ratmen and stopping their frenzied wave.
The Nur Army began to retreat in an orderly manner. It seemed that the humans had realized that they were no match for the Skaven Army!
The Rat Trolls let out victorious roars. Yesyes, win, diedie, and breakbreak sounds reverberated throughout the plains of Borny.
All the Skaven Rat Trolls wanted to follow up their victory and attack.
But Kwon Kuiro didn't see it that way. Chief Gray Prophet looked at the retreating Empire Army mockingly. He immediately ordered the Skaven Rat Trolls not to pursue!
Hey! Son of the War Demon!
You only know how to copy your father?
Do you think I haven't studied the War of the Three Kings?
You pretended to be defeated and then retreated to lure us into attacking?
Who are you trying to fool? Do you think Kwon Kuiro, the genius of the Skaven Army, hasn't heard of your father's tactics? Are you trying to fool me? Don't think I don't know that you only sent out half of your Rat Trolls. The other half is hiding in the back, waiting to ambush us?
I won't be fooled like those green-skinned fools and Orcs!
Chief Gray Prophet immediately ordered the Skaven Rat Trolls not to pursue and to retreat!
No matter what tricks you have, I'll stick to my old plan.
"Don't give chase! All of you retreat! Yes, retreat! Retreat!" Kwon Kuiro gave his orders one after another. Under the command of their commander, the Skaven Rat Trolls gave up their pursuit and retreated.
Soon, the humans were nowhere to be seen, and the only thing left on both sides were the cannoneers firing at each other. Chuanguo ordered the cannoneers to move the cannoneers, allowing the Empire to enter the range of the cannoneers. The cannoneers of the Skaven Ratmen finally began to bombard the cannoneers. Hundreds of Dimension Stone Cannons and Plague Claw Catapults rained down on the human cannoneers.
In less than twenty minutes, the cannons of the Humans' cannons became sparse. There were only a few scattered sounds of resistance. The retreating Skaven Rat Trolls had completely disappeared into the hills and forests.
Putting down the Dimension Stone Telescope, Kwon Kuiro couldn't help but pinch his Dimension Stone Talisman in delight.
The furless Skaven Rat Trolls had retreated. It was time to attack Nur from the inside and attack from the outside. They would destroy the Empire's industrial center and seize the furless Skaven Rat Trolls' gunpowder and steam engine.
The Skaven Rat Trolls had won this battle!
After destroying Nur and returning victorious, the Horned Rat God will promote me. The great Kwon Kuiro will be the Chief Gray Claw Great Prophet!
Yesyes！
